Hillary claims she has the experience and has fought for change throughout her career. Through Politico's Ben Smith's blog he referenced an article. The article states: "Hillary Rodham Clinton often invokes her '35 years of experience making change' on the campaign trail, recounting her work in the 1970s on behalf of battered and neglected children and impoverished legal-aid clients."
Further on the author indicates that at 27 she was the attorney of a man accused of rape. She used her knowledge in child development to discredit the 12 year-old girl. I know this is what some lawyers do, but I think this contradicts her current message. This article isn't getting much attention right now. I wonder if it'll get more coverage later or whether her opponents will use it against her. Right now, the popular item is Obama's picture on Drudge Report. The information online seems limitless as if something new is uncovered everyday about the candidates.

I saw this article too and thought it was pretty interesting. It could give Obama substantial leverage to continue to portray himself as a clear break from the typical politics that have guided recently. Over the past few days, it seems like a lot of the media coverage surrounding the election has been highlighting a host of different tactics Clinton is using to try to gain back momentum given how much Obama has dominated since Super Tuesday. I think she definitely needs to win Texas and/or Ohio to have any chance. We’ll see if the typical political mudslinging can get the job done.
